Beth-- Don't lose that ...Bernadette-- I agree!<br /><br />Beth-- Don't lose that piece of paper!<br /><br />Dorte-- I'll look forward to your review!<br /><br />Margot-- I really really really enjoyed this one!<br /><br />Kathy-- It is disturbing, so it may very well not be for you.<br /><br />Barbara-- Gore doesn't bother me all that much. It's the mindset of people who believe that torture and murder are acceptable as long as it's in pursuit of their own desires.<br /><br />Margot-- It's definitely not at the cozy end of the spectrum!<br /><br />Leighton-- Murder Is Everywhere is excellent and I recommend it to everyone, including one of the employees at the Poisoned Pen recently. Thanks so much for stopping by my humble abode! :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-39750093367270684342010-05-08T09:48:53.460-07:002010-05-08T09:48:53.460-07:00Margot,

So, if it's cozies you like, it will certainly not be your cup of tea.<br />You might find it interesting to know, though, that the title is drawn from the Bible. (Psalms 58:10) and that the relevance is to a sermon preached by a Bishop who abhors violence in any form.<br />As to the cover, it's a woodcut from Aleijadinho, Brazil's greatest baroque artist, a man who lost his fingers to leprosy - and did some of his greatest works without them. I blog about him (without mentioning the book) here:<br /><br />http://murderiseverywhere.blogspot.com/2010/05/aleijadinho.html<br /><br />The blog is an endeavor I share with five other authors who set their books outside of the United States. We don't post about our own work, or the craft, but rather about the social/cultural/historical aspects of the countries in which our stories are set. And, sometimes, about the books of others.Leighton Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788807904434180290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-13928150724616848862010-05-07T10:55:59.472-07:002010-05-07T10:55:59.472-07:00The title and the cover turn me off but - when you...The title and the cover turn me off but - when you give a book an A+ I know there must be value here. However, it sounds a bit too bloody for me.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-41572360888164854772010-05-06T06:36:27.152-07:002010-05-06T06:36:27.152-07:00Like Kathy, I wonder . . .
